The feature article for this newsletter is "Every
man did that which was right in his own eyes." by Sandy Simpson,
1/1/06. The days we live in parallel the times of the judges, and
even the time before the flood. We are living in lawless days when
men do what they want to do, believe what the want to believe. This
worldly attitude has invaded the churches and is in evidence almost everywhere.
In one way or another the enemy has enticed many Christians to believe
that they can remake Christianity into their own image for their own purposes.
But there are a few Bereans left who refuse to follow the postmodern, relativist
paradigm and instead have vowed to live by the written Word of God and
obey the commands of Jesus Christ. It is my hope that many who read
this newsletter are willing to obey the Lord Jesus Christ at all costs
and will stand for the objective truth of the law of Christ and His inspired,
authoritative, inerrant Word.

the faith (2 Tim. 4:7). Go

"Every man did thatwhich was right in his own eyes."by Sandy Simpson, 1/1/06

Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but
every
man did that which was right in his own eyes.Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto
a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

The state of Christianity today has returned to the same condition that
Israel was in during the time of the judges. This statement in Judges
17:6 and 21:25 is not a positive statement about Israel, but a negative
one. This sin of "doing that which was right in (their) own eyes"
was what accounted for the sin of Micah in continuing in idol worship.
There were no judges in the land to point out this sin or restrain the
people from it. The law of God had been forsaken and replaced with
subjectivism. This is exactly what we are seeing today in our postmodern,
relativist culture. It is to be expected that the world will act
like this, but this attitude has also entered and almost overwhelmed Christendom
as we know it. Christianity is being remade in the image of imaginations
of men (Rom. 1:21). The rules are being set by false teachers, and
the Christian masses are quick to follow. Only those who listen to
the judges of today, those with Holy Spirit and biblical discernment, will
be saved in this age of apostasy.

Let me give you just a few examples of ways in which Christianity is
being remade in the image of what seems right to men.

REMAKE

WHO IS TEACHING IT

(1) Postmodernism is good and even in the nature of God (2) Christians
can mix New Age Eastern Mysticism with Christianity

(1) Promises of "healing in the atonement" are made in order to fleece
the flock (2) Wild claims and stories are told with no proof in order to
build a following and secure fame and fortune for those who teach these
things (3) We are all little gods who can create reality by what
we confess with out mouths

Word-Faith: Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, and almost
every teacher on TBN, Daystar, and other TV networks

Hyper-Fundamentalists, Hyper-Pentecostals: Many denominations
on both sides of this extreme.

(1) Antinomianism, holding that it is not necessary to exhibit moral
behavior as a Christian as we are saved by faith alone (2) a denial of
the importance of sanctification because "once saved, always saved" (3)
Easy believism

Hyper-Calvinists: Many denominations.

(1) Holding that there is good in all men and the Holy Spirit is just
looking for that good (2) The fall of man was not complete and he
is able to choose to be saved because he ate of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil

These are just a few examples of the redefinition of Christianity in
the image and imaginations of men. But the Bible clearly teaches
against these concepts. Yet in an age where everyone does what is
right in their own eyes it is not surprising to see the Bible redefined
or simply ignored. But there are consequences to doing what is right
in our own eyes. It is "the way of death" (Prov. 14:12). Those
who teach these things are bringing strange fire before the Lord Jesus
Christ and will be judged for it. They will not simply lose their
rewards in heaven. They will suffer eternal death. You cannot
just make up Christianity. As Larry Norman once sang "The rules were
set down long ago when the spikes went in the wood". The truth of
this world is not that it is subjective, but that the objective God set
down His objective rules and agenda and we either accept it, commit to
it, and follow it or we die. We can claim we are "born again" all
day long but if we choose to live by "Minnesota make-em-as-you-go rules"
instead of the "law of Christ" we prove we do not love the Lord, and He
in turn will not love us (John 15:10). This article is a warning
to all those who think they can rewrite Christianity in their own image.
Think again!
